Abstract: Despite the impressive advancements of Large Language Models (LLMs) as of 2023, they continue to grapple with complex reasoning tasks, particularly Theory of Mind (ToM) tasks, which necessitate understanding agents’ beliefs, goals, and mental states. This study investigates the ToM performance of GPT-4 and three GPT-3.5 variants (Davinci-2, Davinci-3, GPT3.5-Turbo) to evaluate the efficacy […]

Introduction: The field of artificial intelligence has made significant strides in recent years, with large language models (LLMs) demonstrating impressive capabilities. However, the challenge of improving these models’ reasoning skills remains. Yuhuai Wu’s Twitter thread presents a compelling exploration of this topic, outlining the development of a Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR) to enhance LLM reasoning. In […]

On May 8, Bittrex, the second largest cryptocurrency exchange, filed for bankruptcy amidst a legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The cryptocurrency industry is facing another wave of bankruptcies, with Bittrex becoming the latest platform to fall. The Chapter 11 filing only covers Bittrex’s US affiliate, based in Seattle, Washington. Bittrex Global, which serves customers outside the US, will continue to operate normally. The exchange believes it has over 100,000 creditors, with assets ranging from $500 million to $1 billion. The SEC filed a lawsuit against Bittrex last month, accusing the platform of operating a national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency in violation of federal statutes. Bittrex’s CEO has vowed to fight the charges, and customers are expected to be paid in full. The crypto industry has seen a string of bankruptcies in less than a year, with FTX, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, Three Arrows Capital, and BlockFi going bankrupt in 2022.

5. Shopify’s Workforce Reduction: A Response to Pandemic-Driven E-commerce Boom?
Shopify on Thursday announced it’s cutting 20% of its workforce. The news came as it reported first-quarter earnings that beat analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Shares of Shopify surged more than 26% in early trading. CEO Tobi Lütke announced the job cuts in a memo to employees posted on the company’s website. He didn’t specify which units will be affected as a result of the layoffs. “I recognize the crushing impact this decision has on some of you, and did not make this decision lightly,” Lütke wrote. Shopify had about 11,600 employees and contractors as of Dec. 31, according to a securities filing. The cuts mark the second round of layoffs for the Canadian e-commerce company. Shopify last July laid off 10% of its workforce after Lütke said the company had misjudged how long the Covid pandemic-fueled e-commerce boom would last.
According to a recent study conducted in China, heavy mobile phone use may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Individuals who used their phones for more than 30 minutes per week had a 12 percent higher risk of developing conditions that can lead to these health issues. High blood pressure, which is linked to an increased risk of stroke and heart attack, was found to be a contributing factor. While it is unclear whether radio waves emitted from phones directly affect blood pressure, researchers suggest that poor mental health among heavy users may also play a role. The study’s authors recommend keeping mobile phone calls to a minimum until further research is conducted. With nearly all adults owning a mobile device, it is crucial to consider the potential health risks associated with excessive use.
The House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena for an unclassified record allegedly detailing a criminal scheme involving former Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The subpoena was prompted by a whistleblower form, FD-1023, generated by the FBI and obtained by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley’s office. The form reportedly outlines an exchange of money for policy decisions. Grassley and House Oversight Chairman James Comer wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, stating that it remains unclear if any steps were taken to investigate the matter. The subpoena calls for all FD-1023 forms created or modified in June 2020 containing the term “Biden.” Congressional oversight is necessary due to growing concerns about political bias in the DOJ and FBI decision-making process, the letter says. Grassley and Comer said the information provided by the whistleblower raises concerns that Biden “allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national.”
